Carnarvon Motel WA
Carnarvon Motel, Carnarvon. An Unexpected Highlight!
All in all, the Carnarvon Motel was an unexpected mini highlight of the trip. For a room 1/6th of the price of the luxurious Sal Salis Resort we had just come from, we had a comfortable bed, bathroom and all you would expect from a decent motel room. The bonus though was great local company in the bar during happy hour (the beer is very cheap here at $6 a pint) - we cried laughing at some of the good humoured banter. This was followed by a great steak in the "Hot Rocks" restaurant. You cook your steak just to your liking on a hot lava rock at your table.
Kangaroos on Lucky Bay - Cape le Grand National Park
Esperance WA’s Best Beaches
The road from Bremer Bay to Esperance (home of Australia's best beaches) was long - very long - and straight. There were hardly any vehicles on it except the odd road train (shortish) which gave you a start as it rushed past. The road took us through interesting sounding places like Jerramingup, Munillinup and Nindilibillup. Up means "place of" around here - I wonder what these places we were passing through were places of ...? They didn't have enough interest to make us stop long enough to find out. We were keen to press on to Esperance and explore all those beautiful beaches. It took us around 4 hours in total to get here.

Can you find the love in hate?
Puzzling World Wanaka – Can you Find the Love in Hate?
The weather turned chilly, very windy and promised rain in the afternoon. We managed a leisurely stroll around the lakeside and then paid a visit to Puzzling World Wanaka. We failed the challenge of exiting the giant maze within the 60 minutes target and gave up when we saw an emergency exit. If there was one of these back home, it would make a fortune I think! The attraction houses a whole host of illusional exhibits which turn your brain inside out.
Elk Antler Arch Jackson
Rock Springs via Jackson – Aiming for the Armpit
We got talking to a couple of local guys in the Deadman's Bar last night - well actually, they'd started the conversation by asking us how we were enjoying our visit to the colonies. We laughed at this and the conversation went on for an hour or more by which time we had sorted out American politics, English politics, beer, whisky, resource management and - well we ran out of time for world peace. They asked us where we were headed next and when we said Rock Springs , they told us this was the armpit of Wyoming, in their opinion. Great - so we are aiming for the armpit then! We headed off towards Jackson and stopped off at the National Museum of Wildlife Art on the way. This was a fantastic museum - really worth the stop, I would go so far as to say that if you have time to visit only one museum in this area, this should be your choice.
High on Life at the Beartooth Highway Summit
Beartooth Highway – Jaw Dropping!
We left Billings behind us and continued to head West towards the Beartooth Highway. This 68 mile stretch of road runs right into Yellowstone Park. We passed through Red Rocks on the way, which is a lovely little place. This would have been a better overnight stop than Billings I think, although we had travelled about as far as we could go yesterday, so another hour would have maybe been too much.
Boiling Heat in Badlands National Park
Buckle up for the Badlands …
We headed off on the Interstate 90 towards the Badlands National Park with Lucinda Williams ("too rock to be country, too country to be rock!) belting out Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. The road took us through Wall, on the edge of the Park. from a long way away, roadsigns for Wall Drug started popping up every c5 miles or so. We were driving too fast to photograph them - "Frosted Mug Beer", "Badlands Maps", "Homemade Pie", "Breakfast Roll, Donuts, Fudge and Pie" - all available at Wall Drug. It seems like you can get just about everything at Wall Drug, I was beginning to wonder if there was anything you couldn't get? "Be Yourself" at Wall Drug - you can even get therapy?! OK - the temptation was just too much - we just HAD to pull off at Wall Drug.
